Round five took place at the long fast track at Brooklands in Kent but once again bad weather was forecast which limited the practice on Saturday.

On Sunday the track dried out which gave everyone some dry qualifying, at the end of Darren Johnson was sitting on TQ with Stephen Brown (Nova Rossi) in third. Unfortunately as the cars went to the line for the A final it started to rain very hard. Most drivers went straight to the pits for some wet tyres, which meant wet pit men too!

After a very tough final Stephen Brown took a well deserved win for Nova Rossi, with Darren in fourth, giving both drivers good points in the championship battle, where it looks like it could be a Nova Rossi 1 - 2.
Round six of the BRCA 200mm Touring championship took place at the excellent Halifax circuit. This is the second time this season for the Halifax track but unfortunately the weather forecast was all too familiar!
Saturday practice was run in steady rain, quite hard at times, but amazingly the track does not puddle at all and the cars come off virtually dry, even when it’s raining!

The forecast was a little better for Sunday, and although the first round started damp everyone managed to get at least one dry run.
After qualifying, Stephen Brown (Nova Rossi) took TQ from Mark Gilliland and Robin Hammett with Darren Johnson in fourth.

Darren managed to get a great start and crossed the line second after the first lap. He then put a good move on Stephen for the lead and managed to pull away a little, but there was no time to relax as there were some different fuel strategies saving a bit of time. Darren's car remained consistent for the whole final and he was able to bring home the win as well as the fastest laps in the final. Stephen finished in second with young charger Kyle Branson keeping the older racers honest in third!
So another good weekend for Nova Rossi, taking TQ at all six rounds this season and three wins. In the championship Darren leads from Kyle and Stephen.
